This article provides some guidance and examples of commands that can be sent through the command interface to Windows Devices. To see example commands for Windows and Android Devices, see the following articles:
Timeouts
If a supplied command does not return within 60 seconds, the UI will display a timeout message.
If a command does not return at all (e.g. it spawns a sub-prompt for further input), subsequent use of the command interface will fail until 5 minutes has passed. At this point, the interface kills the process so that further commands are possible.
PsExec
Note that PsExec (used in many of the Windows examples below) is a SysInternals tools (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec), and the use of PsExec is subject to a separate EULA (attach PDF from https://bsquarecorp.atlassian.net/browse/SQONE-2596).
Additionally, PsExec does not execute correctly if Hyper-V is running virtual machines on the system. This is being investigated and may be fixed in a future release.
